Agan’s home is a livery stables with 40
horses ranging from Hafflingers to Dutch
Warmbloods, Irish Cobs, an impressive
dressage-trained Gelderlander and a
formidable Zeeland Draught horse
pictured below with Agan who clearly
considers size to be immaterial and is not
easily intimidated!
On April 21st- Maria Baverstock
visited an Akhal-Teke owner in the
Netherlands: Tabitha Meijer is based in the
South-West of Holland and owns
6-year-old gelding Agan
(Shamborant-Geran).
Agan and Tabitha are having lessons and
currently working on trot-to-canter
transitions. Agan is ridden barefoot in a
treeless saddle and a Western-style bridle.
“Agan is in the early stages of his training
and progressing well. The solid,
conventional Dutch training style suits him
well,” says Maria “he clearly has a strong
bond with Tabitha who has owned him
from foal. When I got on him, he turned his
head to sniff me out and was not
impressed! For Tabitha, however, he
works very nicely, has an active, rhythmic
trot and concentrates well in a very busy
yard, with horses being led back and forth
past the manege.”
Akhal-Teke UK wishes Tabitha many
happy years with Agan!
